Chapter 735 - Leon's Decision

"The purpose is not to leave behind an inheritance for future generations? What do you mean, Young Master Leonhardt?"

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was baffled by Leon's claim, and even Aria perked her ears to listen attentively while sticking herself to Leon like a cat.

After Leon recounted his experience with the Abyssal Wood Demon King's demon core, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman wore a heavy expression, and Aria tightened her grasp on Leon's arm.

"To think such a being like the Abyssal Wood Demon King survived to this age and had been hiding inside the demon core for a chance to revive all this time…" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman muttered.

"It was anyone else, I'm sure the Abyssal Wood Demon King was have succeeded in their hostile possession."

"I also think so," Leon casually nodded.

Without his Nihility Law, there really isn't much fighting chance for mortals to go against Celestial-level beings, even if it was just their souls.

"Come to think of it; there haven't been any records of humans succeeding in conquering Demon Lord-level Tombs, let alone refine Demon Lord-level demon cores," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman recalled.

Leon raised an eyebrow before he asked, "The events behind the Battle God's ascension wasn't recorded?"

"It wasn't," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman shook his head and said, "Thus, no one knows if the Battle God attained his strength through a Demon Lord-level demon core or some other means."

Leon's doubts strengthened after hearing the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's words.

Nevertheless, if the Battle God had turned out to have conquered a Demon Lord-level Tomb and got possessed by the Demon Lord, it would be extremely terrible news for the Infertile Plains' people.

"I still don't understand what makes Young Master Leonhardt think there may be some conspiracy to the secret realm. The secret realm has opened multiple times, and people have indeed received multiple inheritances from it."

"Though they were all only Arch Demon-level inheritances and below, they are still inheritances nonetheless," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman added.

Having listened for a while, Aria suddenly interjects, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess the reason for this; it just means that the Arch Demons were only cannon fodders."

"Cannon fodders?"

"Yes, think about it. If Arch Demons don't have the potentials to become Demon Lords, then they will leave their inheritances behind for those who can. Though the demons probably never expected that their inheritances would also fall into human hands."

"That's true…"

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded thoughtfully before he suddenly frowned.

"If the Arch Demons were only cannon fodders and all the Demon Lord-level beings and above are all waiting for a chance to revive, then…"

"What could this mean?"

"Something on the catastrophic scale."

Aria suddenly frowned before saying, "I've heard that the secret realm has opened multiple times. Therefore, if these Demon Lords and higher beings wanted to revive, they would have done so."

"But the fact that they haven't could also imply that they either couldn't or…"

"It's not the right time."

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's gaze became solemn.

Although he lacked critical information to infer the true purpose of the secret realm, he could at least understand the severity of the issue.

For Leon, who was aware that they resided within a sealed world, this was especially true.

"Although I don't know how exactly strong the Battle God is, I can say for certain that humans lack the strength to go against these high-level demons—should they revive. A single Demon Lord is all it takes to dominate the world."

"But what could they be waiting for? When is the right time?"

When the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman raised the important questions, Leon fell silent for a moment before he said, "They are most likely waiting for the day the seal breaks."

"Seal? What seal are you talking about, Young Master Leonhardt?"

"The world we've known as Gaia is a demon graveyard that has been sealed a Celestial Conqueror's Spatial Law; it stops us from leaving this world but also stops others from coming in."

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was astonished to hear some terms he had never heard before.

Leon was not surprised to see the baffled look on the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's face.

"To be honest, even I don't fully grasp how powerful the Celestial Conqueror is, but supposedly this being is the closest to achieving True Divinity, or Godhood if you prefer to call it," Leon added.

He shortly noticed Aria's pondering look before asking, "What's on your mind?"

"I just think that if the entire planet is a demon graveyard, then it's strange how the higher-level demons are all gathered in this secret realm," Aria voiced her doubts.

However, Leon didn't find it strange at all.

"I don't think the higher-level demons gathered in this secret realm are all of them," Leon shook his head and asserted his own opinion, "They are probably only a fraction of the demons sealed on Gaia."

The world was so big, yet they've explored so little; it would be too arrogant to assume they've seen and know it all.

"Nevertheless, for these demons to be gathered in one secret realm, they are most likely part of the same faction," Leon added.

Although the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman was curious how Leon knew so much, he didn't think the person was making things up.

"What do you think we should do from now on, Young Master Leonhardt?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman asked.

The original purpose was to conquer tombs and collect the inheritances.

But now that the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman realized more important things were at stake, he was aware that they couldn't continue to fulfill their original purpose.

"The demons must be stopped. It's all over if they succeed in reviving a Demon Lord or even a Demon King," Leon firmly stated.

At the same time, Leon made a resolute decision in his heart.

He had been hesitant about choosing a new energy cultivation method all this time.

However, the world's overflowing Demonic Energy and Darkness Profound Energy had been pointing him towards one answer; cultivating demonic cultivation will be faster than divine cultivation.

And if he was to embark on demonic cultivation, one particular energy cultivation method stood out from the rest in the [Archive].

The Devil Emperor's Tome of Eternal Darkness.
